In the Chinese-style flower hall, with carved beams and painted pillars, four people sat around the coffee table, and the sound of birds chirping in the afternoon could occasionally be heard.
Ouyang Wan sat leisurely on the wooden chair covered with soft mattresses next to Jing Gao. She looked at Jing Gao talking nonsense with a smile on her face, and was filled with admiration in her heart. Compared to the first time she met Jing Gao last year, she felt
I can clearly feel Jing Gao's progress.
Of course, this feeling may also be caused by the fact that she is more powerful and has a more important status, which has caused changes in her heart.
Feng Xuehua is wearing a light pink shirt, with graceful curves in front of her face, smiling and drinking tea from a tea bowl, with elegant movements. Her slender legs in white wide-leg pants are folded together. This makes her more elegant and demure bookish.
A unique and alluring charm of a beautiful young woman.
The thirty-year-old beautiful young woman has a graceful figure and a curvy figure, and her appearance and skin are very well maintained, giving people a beautiful and delicate feeling. People can't help but want to experience the beauty of this famous lady.
She followed Jing Gao's words with a smile and said, "Haha, I was overthinking that." These words were a bit harsh.
It shows her different attitude when she took the initiative to rush to Ouyang Wan's Lanting Tea House to make friends with Jing Gao. She started to become a little bit stronger!
She was able to become a socialite in the Magic City, and she naturally had the confidence and foundation to support her. Her family background was extraordinary, and her husband had a bright future. What's more, Yao Shengming had already found out that Jing Gao had no background in the system and was purely a capital operation.
Yao Shengming smiled and said: "Sister Feng, you are right! I still want to accept your favor. At least it will give me one more opportunity to communicate with Mr. Jing face to face."
He said, relaxing the atmosphere, "Mr. Jing, you don't know how hot the financing for orange takeout is now. I was determined to let Evergreen Group invest some money, but at the investment negotiation reception, I didn't even have the opportunity to chat with Mr. Tang.
None. Hi!”
"Hoo ho." Feng Xuehua chuckled gracefully and charmingly, making the atmosphere in the box relaxed, as if she was not the one who showed strength just now.
Jing Gao ignored this "one piece and one piece" routine at all, smiled and drank tea, and said calmly: "Mr. Yao, do you want to invest in orange takeout? Can you tell me the main business of Evergreen Group?"
"
Ouyang Wan raised her eyebrows. She has no talent in business. But in terms of interpersonal communication and emotional intelligence, she is top-notch. Jing Gao didn't respond to Yao Shengming's words at all! Just look at his and Feng Xuehua's performances.
Feng Xuehua is quite satisfied in his heart, Jing Gao is very smart! Look, his attitude has softened! He is still young after all. He has experienced too little and cannot avoid her tricks. Of course, attitude is attitude, and he will probably still fight for benefits later.
.
Yao Shengming remained calm and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing, don't get me wrong. Our Yao family has a very good reputation in the capital. It is not popular now to get shares with nothing. I want real money investment.
I talked with a friend who is a venture capital investor, and he admires you very much. There is a high probability that Meituan will not be able to withstand your money-burning offensive.
In fact, at the investment negotiation reception two days ago, not only the top domestic venture capital companies: Hongbin Capital, IDG, Shunwei, etc., but also the international limelight wanted to come in. I also saw the largest financial institution behind Meituan.
The person who heads Tencent’s investment department.
I guess the people at Tencent are beating the drum in their hearts. They want to invest in Xiangcheng Takeout to be a sure hand. Haha!"
Yao Shengming took a sip of tea and continued: "Our Evergreen Group is a private enterprise. It mainly engages in asset mining, steel, shipbuilding, electromechanical, automobile, insurance, investment, real estate, software and other businesses. Last year's turnover was 90 billion."
Nowadays, various wealth lists have different evaluation standards. When Fortune magazine selects the world's top 500, the most important data is sales!
Therefore, even though Apple’s profits have reached over 60%, its ranking in the Fortune 500 cannot compete with retailers like Wal-Mart.
In the same way, Alibaba's market value exceeds one trillion, but its ranking is lower than Huawei! The reason is sales!
In fact, this is also a very reasonable ranking method. Although a company's turnover does not mean its profitability, it does mean that it has actually sold its products. This is its business influence.
The standard of the Federation of Industry and Commerce is also operating income.
However, the companies in the Hurun Wealth List are actually ranked according to market value. This is nonsense. Whether a company is great or not depends on its assets or market value?
You know, the market value of the top domestic real estate companies after listing is generally about 200 billion yuan. But the company assets calculated by them are all over one trillion yuan! How do you compare using this standard?
The assets and market value of a company can only be used as a reference!
For example, before the split, Phoenix Group's assets were as high as 800 billion yuan, but its sales volume barely ranked among the 50 private companies. Its annual operating income was around 66 billion yuan. Therefore, Jing Gao's own evaluation is: big but not strong.
Jing Gao made a rough estimate in his mind and understood the position of Evergreen Group. According to the ranking standards of Fortune and the Federation of Industry and Commerce, Evergreen Group is still stronger than Phoenix Group.
Of course, this is a comparison between companies. In terms of personal wealth and industry influence, he far exceeds Yao Shengming.
"Mr. Yao, Changqing Group's business is a bit industrial-focused, so I'm afraid its help for Orange Delivery will be limited."
Yao Shengming smiled but said nothing, pondering slightly.
Feng Xuehua smiled and said: "Mr. Jing, how can this not be helpful? Mr. Yao's network in all aspects can protect Orange Takeout."
She acted as a vanguard because she would have a share of Yao Shengming's investment amount. Of course she had to fight for better conditions.
Jing Gao said rudely: "Ms. Feng, you lack a basic understanding of the Internet industry. With the capabilities of the Phoenix Group, it is fully sufficient to provide technical support for Orange Delivery. The funds we need must help us compete with Meituan."
.
For example, I will absorb funds from top venture capital investors. This can inflate the valuation. Investors will pay for the stories they tell. Later, I will also absorb funds from investment banks in order to list overseas. I will even absorb some funds from tourism companies.
funds for better operations.
Evergreen Group is not involved in the orange takeaway business at all. So, Mr. Yao, if you really want to invest, I don’t mind selling you a face and allowing Evergreen Group’s funds to come in. But you need to pay a certain premium, and you don’t have to pay a certain premium.
Ensure that your shares are not diluted by the next round of financing.”
"Giggle..." When Ouyang Wan heard Jing Gao's merciless criticism of Feng Xuehua, a hypocritical woman, she immediately burst into laughter. Of course, she felt really happy! Brother Jing is still very tough! This fishing technique is good
ah!
First show the enemy weakness, and then directly throw out the cards. Slap Feng Xuehua, this "idiot" in the face!
She knows her level in business and has followed the Phoenix Fund throughout the entire process. She will never ask a question. She also invested 10 million pocket money in Xiaoyuan Bicycle. Her main capital, several hundred million, is in Uber shares.
Inside, they are just waiting to go public and make a lot of money.
Investing does not necessarily have to be in a company! Investing in people is the same. And Brother Jing is that kind of person who is particularly reliable.
Feng Xuehua was immediately embarrassed, with a stiff expression on her pretty face.
Yao Shengming serves as the president of Evergreen Group. He stands out from the competition among a group of brothers and sisters and is ready to take over the old man's job. He is very capable. He made the final decision: "Mr. Jing, I will invest 100 million U.S. dollars. I will send someone after the details."
Let’s go to Xiangcheng Takeaway to talk.”
Jing Gao stood up with a smile and shook hands with Yao Shengming, "That's okay. I wish us a happy cooperation."
…
…
Jing Gao left with Ouyang Wan, and Yao Shengming walked the two of them to the door of the "Shuyun" club in a graceful manner. He watched them leave in the Maybach and returned to the Chinese-style living room on the third floor. Feng Xuehua was angry.
Her pretty face had completely sunk. The graceful curves outlined by her light pink shirt were rising and falling, and she was obviously very angry.
Yao Shengming quietly admired Feng Xuehua's beauty. The angry look of this beautiful young woman was also very charming. Of course, he was just admiring it and had no other thoughts. He was not the kind of man who was obsessed with sex.
Yao Shengming sat at the coffee table and said comfortingly: "Sister Feng, don't be angry! Jing Gao is a very powerful person who can build such a big business. He can recognize the tricks in your speech.
Besides, as a young man, it’s normal for him to be angry. After all, he wants to become the richest man!”
Feng Xuehua looked cold and said: "Mr. Yao, what do you mean by him? Since you think Evergreen Group is not helpful for orange takeout, are you still willing to put our funds in? And with our funds, we are asked to buy at a premium!
Moreover, there is no guarantee that the equity will not be diluted in the future. Humph."
Yao Shengming smiled and said leisurely: "Probably to give some benefits, I hope we can retreat when the difficulties are hard, and it's enough!"
He has plans for Phoenix Group's assets. As soon as he comes into contact with Jing Gao, there will be rumors in Beijing. He doesn't believe that Jing Gao can't receive relevant information. He knows that Tan Qin has a good personal relationship with Jing Gao.
Tan Qin's late fathers were once active in the political arena. Now there are still some uncles taking care of him.
Therefore, he would say "I won't take dry shares" in front of Jing Gao.
Jing Gao probably realized that selling him was a way of saving face. You know, even if the premium is high, as long as Orange Takeout is successful and then goes public, the US$100 million will eventually make a lot of money. At least five times the profit.
You know, Orange Takeaway is now in Series B financing!
That's why he made a decision and decided to invest money.
Feng Xuehua nodded slightly.
Yao Shengming smiled and said: "Sister Feng, don't worry. You will definitely make a lot of money from this investment. The process of annexing Phoenix's assets does not happen overnight. It will take three to five years to plan. After all, Jing Gao is not a fool.
Such good ingredients need to be simmered over slow fire to absorb the flavor, and then you can enjoy the hearty flavor when eating it!”
Feng Xuehua couldn't help but smile, with the charm of a young woman, and said: "Your description... makes me hungry. Let's have some snacks together."
Yao Shengming said happily: "Okay."
…
…
The black Maybach came out of the scenic spot on the outskirts of the magical city smoothly. It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and the whole city had the quietness and laziness of this time on weekdays.
In an international metropolis like Shanghai, who is not busy with life at this time?
Ouyang Wan sat next to Jing Gao, wearing an emerald midi skirt with graceful curves. Her white skin and exquisite skirt complemented each other, making her look stunningly charming.
She turned slightly sideways, her beautiful watery eyes looking at Jing Gao beside her who was deep in thought, with an expression as calm as a rock.
I have to say that the man in deep thought is really charming! Even though he looks ordinary, he still makes her have a desire to conquer him.
Well, I just want to conquer him!
Women conquer the world by conquering men!
Her relationship with Jing Gao is still just an ordinary friend.
Jing Gao recruited Guo Pojun, who had always had a plot against her, to take charge of the Shanhaijing chip. He led her to make money through investment. And her reward was the various news she learned in the magic city, and her business
local connections.
However, as Forbes magazine revealed Jing Gao's net worth in March this year, she, a "socialite" who has a close relationship with Jing Gao, suddenly became somewhat popular. This made her dream of becoming the top socialite in Shengtan.
, suddenly became readily available!
For example, Feng Xuehua, in the past, that was her goal in life, but now she only needs to run her Lanting Teahouse safely and steadily, which can stabilize her.
The reason lies in Jinggao!
The last time Jing Gao came to the Magic City, she told him something about using his name to "charm" him. She was young, unmarried, had a gentle temperament, and was trustworthy. Such a man would not be wanted by that woman.
Caught in your hand? What if you don’t want to marry him?
It's just that the effect of the charm was not good last time! She also implemented the slightly intimate names for each other: Brother Jing, Xiaowan.
Ouyang Wan's mouth curved into an extremely charming smile, and her watery eyes looked at Jing Gao's face, as if she was the reincarnation of a well-trained vixen who was about to launch an offensive.
"Brother Jing, why do you want Evergreen Group to invest in it? That woman Feng Xuehua will definitely invest in it secretly. They are clearly trying to steal your money!"
Jing Gao woke up from his thoughts and said with a smile: "Originally, Orange Takeaway will bring in many investors. According to your idea, who should be allowed to take out the food?"
This seems to be a paradox.
According to the current situation, he has abundant funds, and Orange Delivery is an absolutely high-quality project. He should incubate this project alone and kill Meituan or evenly divide it. Wouldn't it be a huge profit after it goes public?
actually not.
He can certainly get the maximum benefit by incubating Orange Takeout by himself. However, if you think about it and stir up the interests of many investors behind Meituan, you will know how big the resistance will be! The risk is very high for one person to do it alone!
Therefore, we still need to follow the Chairman's teachings: use more of our people and less of the enemy.
This is the same strategy he used when investing in Uber and competing with Didi.
Ouyang Wan chuckled, her beautiful eyes rolled, and she leaned lightly on Jing Gao's shoulder and said, "Brother Jing, do you think I'm stupid?
I am a novice in business, but I can still tell the difference between enemies and friends. Look at Feng Xuehua's moral character today! He is full of a condescending mentality."
A quiet fragrance immediately penetrated Jing Gao's nose. It smelled very good. Jing Gao felt the soft touch from his arm and turned to look at Ouyang Wan. Her beautiful face was very close at hand. He only needed a little
Go forward a little and you can "eat rouge".
However, he did not do this. He could feel that Ouyang Wan was interested in him and would not refuse his kiss. But he did not want to give Ouyang Wan what he wanted! This was not a matter of hundreds of millions of gold! He just wanted to
Marry Weiwei.
Jing Gao pinched the tip of Ouyang Wan's nose lightly and said, "Xiao Wan, don't play with fire!" He smiled faintly and said softly: "The Chairman wrote in the article 'Strategic Issues in China's Revolutionary War': This situation often happens
, it is often the case that only by losing can we not lose. This is the principle of 'if you want to take something, you must give it first'."
Ouyang Wan touched Jing Gao's nose, feeling a little shy. Then when Jing Gao suddenly recited the original text of Mao Zedong, she felt a very strange feeling.
Brother Jing, shouldn't you be reciting ancient Chinese classics at this time? Maybe I'll fall for it all at once.
If you want to take something, you must give it first. This comes from the Tao Te Ching!
But she suddenly realized that those two would definitely be miserable in the future! Are the intentions behind reciting the Tao Te Ching and reciting Mao Xuan the same?
